Plasma Translation

clear yellowish fluid part of blood and lymph (Hematology); fluid portion that remains when blood cells are removed from blood, cell-free sterilized blood plasma used in transfusions (Medicine); ionized material, matter in the fourth state (beyond gas); cytoplasm (Cell Biology); whey, watery part of milk that separates off when milk sours; watery part of mixture that is being made into cheese; faintly translucent chalcedony (Mineralogy); mixture of starch and glycerin used as a substitute for ointments (Medicine)

plasma\plas"ma\ (?), n. [see plasm.]1. (min.) a variety of quartz, of a color between grass green and leek green, which is found associated with common chalcedony. it was much esteemed by the ancients for making engraved ornaments.2. (biol.) the viscous material of an animal or vegetable cell, out of which the various tissues are formed by a process of differentiation; protoplasm.3. unorganized material; elementary matter.4. (med.) a mixture of starch and glycerin, used as a substitute for ointments. s. disp.

Plasma consists of a gas heated to sufficiently high temperatures that the atoms ionize. The properties of the gas are controlled by electromagnetic forces among constituent ions and electrons, which results in a different type of behavior. Plasma is often considered the fourth state of matter (besides solid, liquid, and gas). Most of the matter in the Universe is in the plasma state.

Noun1. colorless watery fluid of blood and lymph containing no cells and in which erythrocytes and leukocytes and platelets are suspended (synonym) plasm (hypernym) extracellular fluid, ECF (hyponym) blood plasma (substance-meronym) plasma protein2. a green slightly translucent variety of chalcedony used as a gemstone (hypernym) chalcedony, calcedony3. (physical chemistry) a fourth state of matter distinct from solid or liquid or gas and present in stars and fusion reactors; a gas becomes a plasma when it is heated until the atoms lose all their electrons, leaving a highly electrified collection of nuclei and free electrons; "particles in space exist in the form of a plasma" (hypernym) state of matter, state (hyponym) interplanetary gas (classification) physical chemistry

the fluid, non-cellular portion of circulating blood that carries blood cells and nutrients throughout the body, removes metabolic wastes and is a medium for chemical communications between different parts of the body. See also serum.

This is the fourth state of matter and occurs when a gas is heated so much that every atom and molecule are ionised. The gas then exists as independently moving positive and negative ions. More exactly : "Every atom and molecule does not need to be ionised in a plasma. There can exist a significant number of neutral atoms in a plasma as long as the behaviour of the gas is dominated by the electromagnetic interactions as oppopsed to collisions with the neutral particles.

Plasma consists of a gas heated to sufficiently high temperatures that the atoms ionize . The properties of the gas are controlled by electromagnetic forces among constituent ions and electrons , which results in a different type of behavior. Plasma is often considered the fourth state of matter (besides solid, liquid, and gas). Most of the matter in the Universe is in the plasma state.
